While I spent thirty years flying as though I was ablaze, I now fly something that does not like to decelerate much, yet must be at ~140 kts by 1000' RA. (Note that this occurs at about 4 NM from MEL 16 threshold, for example)

So, much as I'd like to help the cause, in IMC I can't really fly 160 closer than about six miles, give or take, assuming no tailwind and no track shortening.
